Cork doesn't have a wide range of cuisines for you to choose from - the main influence is Mediterranean - but it does have a high standard of food on offer; several cafAŠs and restaurants serve dishes made from organic local produce, and there are plenty of seafood and vegetarian options. Places like the
Ivory Tower, CafAŠ Paradiso, Isaac's
and, above all,
Ballymaloe House
at the Crawford Gallery epitomize the creativity of Cork's culinary scene, and the influence of these places permeates many of the more affordable places to eat around the city. Alongside the more conventional eating places,
The English Market
located between Grand Parade and Princes Street, with entrances off both, is a wonderful place to share in the city's enthusiasm for all things culinary. Here, the cosmopolitan rubs shoulder with the decidedly unpretentious; stalls specializing in the finest olive oils and cheeses jostle for space among the rakes of tripe and bacon.
